Glossary

Glossary of NGV-related Definitions

Alternative Fuel Vehicle (AFV):
A vehicle with an engine designed to run on a fuel other than gasoline or diesel.

Bi-Fuel Natural Gas Vehicle:
A vehicle with an engine capable of running on either natural gas or some other fuel (usually gasoline).

Compressed Natural Gas (CNG):
This is a natural gas that is highly compressed and stored in high-pressure surface containers. Compressed natural gas is used extensively as a transportation fuel for automobiles, truck and buses.

Dedicated NGV:
A vehicle that can be fueled only by natural gas.

Direct Use:
Direct use involves burning natural gas directly at end-use applications such as furnaces, water heaters and other natural gas appliances or vehicles. This is as opposed to burning natural gas for electric generation which would then be used to power the same appliances or electric vehicles in a less efficient manner due to energy losses incurred during generation and transportation.
